Leading up to Christmas, Greater Shepparton will celebrate its 49th annual Carols by Candlelight, complete with live music, festive decorations, and delicious food.

Local community groups, vendors and businesses will attend the event, with food and drink available for purchase.

City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali encourages community members to join the family-friendly festivity.

“Carols by Candlelight is the perfect opportunity to come together and enjoy a great evening with family and friends,” he said.

“Council is proud to continue to support this wonderful tradition.”

The program runs from 6.30pm to 9pm on Sunday, December 17, and features some talented local performers alongside special guests, Santa Claus and his elves.
